Introducing The Maverick 1
The Maverick 1 clips onto the collar your dog already wears. It shows you where your dog is in real time, watches activity and sleep, and the battery lasts up to three months.
Open your phone and see your dog on a live map. The Maverick 1 reports real time location whether your dog is asleep on the porch or three fields away, and it keeps reporting far past the point where phone-based tags lose track. The tracking service is $5 a month with no annual contract.
Battery life is where tracking collars quietly fail. A tracker that dies in a day protects your dog on a schedule, and dogs do not get lost on a schedule. Years of work on low power design went into the Maverick 1, so the battery holds up to three months. Put it on and think about it again next season.
Beyond location, the Maverick 1 keeps a record of your dog's activity and sleep schedule. You see when the afternoon zoomies happened, whether the walk was long enough, and whether last night's sleep looked normal. Changes in a dog's routine are often the first sign something is off.
If your dog gets out, turn on emergency mode. The Maverick 1 flashes a bright LED and sounds a loud buzzer, so a runaway dog is easier to spot in the dark and easier to hear in the brush while you follow the live map to them.
Technology
The rest of this page skips the jargon on purpose. For those who want it, this is the engineering inside the Maverick 1.
A dedicated GPS receiver reports your dog's actual coordinates. The Maverick 1 does not guess the position from someone else's passing phone.
LoRaWAN is a low power radio protocol that can carry a location report for miles on a tiny amount of energy. It is how the tracker stays in touch far beyond WiFi and Bluetooth range.
When your dog is home, the tracker switches to the closest, cheapest link instead of long range radio. That choice is a big part of why the battery lasts as long as it does.
The hardware and firmware are designed and written in-house, not outsourced, and tuned around a single goal: months of battery life from a device small enough to ride on a collar.
From the founder
“The Maverick 1 came out of years of R&D in long range RF over LoRaWAN and extreme low power design. I wrote and designed the hardware and the firmware personally. None of it was outsourced, and it is made in America.”
